"Hello. May I introduce myself? Perhaps some of you have heard of the fabulous grandmother who was to appear in the 1942 issue of the Kentuckian and wondered why an unobtrusive old lady should be so featured? Therefore, I think I should explain how and why I am here.
You see, I was born in 1876, too, and have always felt a sisterly kinship with the University of Kentucky. I attended the institution from 1886 to 1890, and as an alumna have watched her continuous growth with family pride. This past fall I had an urge to visit her to see what changes time had made and to celebrate with her our seventy-fifth year.
I found that where age had dimmed the human, it had brightened the school. I have withered with the years, while my sister has blossomed. At first the difference rather bewildered me, but things soon fell into the logical pattern in which I had always placed them. No matter what the changes, certain basic things remained in their simple orderthere are still those who impart and those who seek, those who lead and those who toil, and still there's beauty and lots of fun.
Among the students I met at the University were some who were working to publish an anniversary issue of the annual. They asked me all sorts of questions about my years in schooland it was finally agreed that I help them add bits of history to this year's interpretation of school life. So, scattered throughout the pages are little notes of mine, largely comparisons of my school days with yours.
The staff even used my simple cataloguing of school events for their table of contents. It appears on the next page.   I'll see you later ..."
